Title: Focus Peaking on MF
Post by: Mike Sellers on September 15, 2015, 10:28:19 am: Which models of Hasselblads have focus peaking? Do any other MF have this?

Not sure if the 645z has it or not.

It seems that peaking always comes with a EVF solution at least so far. Nikon and Canon don't offer it with their live view. However with canon you can get the Magic Lantern solution which does have a peaking offering but very rudimentary.

Cool to know that. I for one love peaking, with my older eyes.

Yes it does and you can use DOF preview with focus peaking to see exactly what will be in focus.
